Default Need opinion on transmission bent/pinched tubes.

Hey there! I recently got a used automatic transmission swap because my original transmission blew out. It was too dark to see how good of a job they did. So when I got home, I did an inspection. Everything looks good, but when I was looking at the tubes coming out of the transmission (I believe those are transmission cooler lines) the metal tubes were sort of pinched. One of the lines was pretty severe imo, they other was just a little. So I'm concern about what to do.

What are your guys' opinion? Is it fine?

(I'm going to call them, but just want to get some input)

No.
It is not "Fine"
Heat is the biggest enemy of automatic transmissions.
Get it fixed - any way you can

Yea that's what I thought also. I'm going to call them and see what's up.

Upon closer inspection, it looks like it was bent half way. Looks pretty bad. =(

So let's say the shop is going to charge me. (Of course I'm going to fight for it) anyways if they still are going to charge me, So I simply unbolt the old transmission cooling line and put on a good one?

They did. So far I've got no information on the transmission. Looks exactly the same like my old one though...
